sion. and with the advent of colder weather
the rate will advance somewhat. Tho exports
OF spool stock to Scotland and Of fruit-box
shocks to Mediterranean ports have been I'M
usually heavy this year thus far. and the move
ment still continues.
OF all tho Ice harvested on the Penobsco last

vigorous still hunt. Registration closed at 10
o'clock tonight in the cities. and the results
are surprising. In Boston there is a registra-

tions are Democratic names. The Republicans
have regarded this as an of year. They took
1t for granted that the detection Of the Mug
wumps left the Democrats without hope OF
success. There was never q bigger mistake
made. The Democrats, now that the un-
natural Mugwumpian alliance is broken. have
taken heart in the fight. and they have already
accomplished wonders without making any
fuss about it.
In the western part Of the State the registra-
ton Is proportionately even heavier than in

are Democratic Ono reason for Republican
